Is Your Community GLOF Ready?
In recent years, the Himalayan region and mountainous areas worldwide have witnessed a rise in Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). These are sudden, powerful floods that occur when water dammed by a glacier or moraine is released abruptly. Unlike regular river floods, GLOFs happen with terrifying speed, leaving little time to react.
Whether you are a social work student, a disaster management volunteer, or a resident of a vulnerable area, understanding the warning signs can be the difference between life and death. This "Be Alert, Be Prepared" quiz challenges your understanding of GLOFs and equips you with the knowledge to stay safe.
